Asia-centric edition of the leading dermatology and aesthetics conference and exhibition by INDEX Holding to launch, after 20 years' experience cultivating Dubai Derma

SINGAPORE, Oct. 31, 2018 -- Asia Derma, the first Asia Pacific Dermatology and Aesthetic Conference & Exhibition of its kind, is poised to be the leading industry conference for skin professionals in the region. The event will take place at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre, between 5th and 7th December 2018.

As the first two-in-one conference to uniquely combine both therapeutic and aesthetic dermatology in a single platform, Asia Derma will deliver expertly curated content, skills development, Asia-centric trends and insights from industry leaders - as well as unrivalled brand exposure. The Scientific Conference and Trade Exhibition components collectively bring together Asia's leading aesthetic dermatology professionals and brands, in the unrivalled three-day platform. Dermatologists, anti-aging aestheticians, general practitioners and government health regulators will be able to benefit from the insightful conference sessions led by globally and regionally renowned skin health professionals, in addition to discovering the latest treatments.

Esteemed Professor Goh Chee Leok, Chairman of the Asia Derma 2018 Scientific Committee, elaborates, "The inaugural Asia Derma Conference & Exhibition has a comprehensive scientific programme that will provide an exceptional opportunity for practitioners to share their expertise, improve their knowledge and enhance their skills in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. The trade exhibition, running parallel to the conference, will also create a synergistic platform for industry professionals to introduce the latest in skincare technology and medical care."

A key player in the region's medical device industry, Korea, is Asia Derma's Country of Honour in collaboration with IBITA. Korea's aesthetic medical device market was valued at an estimated $153.22 million in 2016 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of around 11.61%. These investments have enabled Korea to become a nation of authority in the medical device industry, with unrivalled insight and expertise in the space. Attendees can experience this first-hand through the various Korean brands and exhibitors participating, including Eunsung Global, GTG Wellness and Dermafirm.

Anas Al-Madani, Vice-Chairman and Group CEO of INDEX Holding and organiser of Asia Derma and Dubai Derma comments, "Market research suggests Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing market for dermatology devices and is a key driver for the quest of effective skincare solutions. Asia Derma's debut in Singapore is a nod to the city state's standing as a financial, business and lifestyle hub in Asia and event delegates from the region can expect a first class global international skincare event."
